I thought this was kinda interesting, given all the info that I had from you guys I decided to try some experiments last night and started to play around with the wifi setting and how it all ties in with the phantom and the extender. what i did was i connected one iphone to the Camera it self. i enabled static and set the ip address to the camera and left it blank. I had control of the camera with the full internet connection.. now this is where i had an idea (and im still working on this):
What if i connect my iphone straight to the camera and enable the internet, then remote connect to my iphone that is attached to my phantom via VNC and SSH from a Tablet or PC over a data connection. I would have to direct the tablet or PC to look for the connection on my phone thru either SSH or similar method. but what this will do is allow your tablet to use the vision app on the ground over a internet or data connection connected to the phone attached to the phantom and not having to worry about distance.
I know this sounds ridiculous but i had this kinda working last night with a different method by just VNC from one phone to the another.. But i have two Iphones with data connections and one is Jailbroken to allow me to do this.. It works sorta but still have to figure out just how to complete the connection over the internet. Really the only way i could find this use full is by setting a mission with waypoints and letting it go but still be able to see the phantom and control the app from a greater distance.
